In a certain code language, 'GLOBE'  is coded as '40', and 'GRASS' is coded as '63'. What is the code for 'HANDY' in that code language? 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 51.

The logic used here is:

'GLOBE'  is coded as '40'

Sum of positional values of letters - 1 = Code

GLOBE = 7 + 12 + 15 + 2 + 5 - 1 = 41 - 1 = 40

'GRASS' is coded as '63'

GRASS = 7 + 18 + 1 + 19 + 19 - 1 = 64 - 1 = 63

Similarly;

Code for the word HANDY:

HANDY = 8 + 1 14 + 4 + 25 - 1 = 52 - 1 = 51

Hence, 51 is the correct answer.
